takewithfoodAnyone who attempts to assert the whole "then we'd have no morals and we'd do whatever we want" argument without instantly thinking through this painfully obvious logical brick wall has their brain turned off. It's as inevitable and plain a conclusion as thinking "I'm going to put my face in a pot of boiling hot oil" and then arriving at "oh wait, that might hurt, better not".

I'm honestly not sure if people that fundamentally stupid can even be considered to be truly conscious.

CamonkYou'd better kill your wife, or she might rat you out to your ex-neighbor's brother or something.

Syd MidnightIf you kill your neighbor, the police will come get you, because of FASCISM only Jesus can protect us from murder and nosy big government

seriouslyuguysAs an atheist, I don't do horrible things to people because I empathize with them and don't want them to do horrible things to me. People who don't do horrible things for fear of being caught scare me. How's that for a turn of the tables religious people who fear atheists?

Syd MidnightHey now lets not get into lumping all Christians together, "The only reason I'm not a serial killer is because someone is watching me" should be crazy in anyone's book. That is the kind of thinking you should outgrow as a teenager when you realize mommy and daddy won't always be there.

chumbucketI'm always thanking god for supplying common sense for these people too

coprolaliaThis is pretty hard to deny when you consider the Satanic violence machine that is Richard Dawkins.

Syd MidnightDawkins used to go on weekend murder sprees with Carl Sagan on shotgun. There's a whole chapter on the joy of guilt-free killing in "Cosmos". Oh wait that's not true and the chapter is on reciprocal altruism, guess this guy is full of shit.

KnowFutureSo God is the only thing keeping this guy from killing people?

That's pretty scary.

I could easily name at least 10 confirmed atheist friends of mine who manage to somehow convince themselves on a daily basis not to murder.

XenocideFew things are more fun than watching an idiot impale himself on his own retarded logic.

But one of my biggest pet peeves in the world today are idiots who try to actually insist that ethics and morals are solely a religious invention and only religion can lay claim to them. This argument came up in the local school system some years back when they decided to institute this thing where each month a new principle of morals was used as the theme for that month, like say, "Honesty." Some people argued it was inserting religion into the school. Yes, because religion has been the shining example of honesty for oh so long.
